Empowered21 Global Congress

Empowered21 Global Co-Chair and Oral Roberts University President, Dr. William M. Wilson, shared details surrounding the Empowered21 Global Congress to be held in Jerusalem May 20-25, 2015 at a press conference held during the annual National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) International Christian Media Convention.
“This global congress could be a pivotal event for the future of the Spirit-empowered movement from around the globe,” said Wilson. “Jerusalem 2015 will be a moving experience as thousands of Christians from around the world join together to ask for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit.”

The fastest growing segment of Christianity is the Spirit-empowered movement —boasting approximately 620 million believers worldwide. These Christians believe that the full power of the Holy Spirit that came at Pentecost is available to them today. Spirit-empowered Christians take many forms from Charismatic Catholic to historic Pentecostal denominations to non-denominational churches.

Empowered21 is a relational network that aims to help shape the future of the global Spirit-empowered movement throughout the world by focusing on crucial issues facing the movement and connecting generations for intergenerational blessing and impartation. Their vision is that every person on Earth would have an authentic encounter with Jesus Christ through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit by Pentecost 2033. The Empowered21 Global Council recently affirmed Dr. George Wood, general superintendent for the Assemblies of God USA and the chairman of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, as global co-chair to serve alongside Wilson.

“Being selected to serve this esteemed group is a humbling honor,” said Wood. “I have committed my life to reaching more people with the salvation message of Jesus Christ and the full power of His Spirit. This new leadership opportunity is exciting for me because we are all working toward this same end as a world conclave of ministry leaders. I pray that God continues to give us wisdom of how to impart the full power of the Holy Spirit to the world and through new generations.”
